Long time lurker but first time posting in AIBU.
I'll do my best not to drop feed so bear with me.
I've been with DH 3 years, married for one. We are late 20s and early 30s Generally we have a good relationship most of time, although we have had our issues.
Our sex life has never been wonderful, DH had no experience beyond porn when we met and initially tried to cover it up and make himself sound more experienced as he was embarrassed. This caused some issues but we got past it.
Sex is regular and enjoyable for both of us as far as I'm aware. Though I know things can skip when I'm stressed or in a low mood.
Recently not much has happened, so I've broached them subject and DH has always maintained that he hasn't thought about it and hasn't been in the mood.
Fast forward to last week, we are away for a week visiting family, and I notice his phone bill has come out of the joint account (I manage the finances) and it's double the amount it should be.
It's actually my contract, so I logged in abs saw around 10 premium rate calls over the space of three different days, at varying times e'g Monday at 1.30, 5.00 and 6.45
Wednesday 11.15, 12.00, 1.30, 5.34
Saturday 1.39, 1.35, 3.00
I googled the numbers and discovered they were for sec chat lines.
They had also most been called at times when I was home but in another room.
I'm fairly open sexually, we regularly chat to make sure we are both happy with things, as I have some medical issues that make some sexual acts difficult for me. In the past I asked DH if he'd like an open relationship so he could have those needs met but he said no as he didn't want me to be with anyone else.
I know he still watches porn and I'm ok with that, but this felt different. It felt like cheating as it was wanting to actively engage with another person, and of course, it had been hidden and I had to find out through the phone bill.
When I asked him why his bill was so much, he wouldn't answer and just told me he thought I already knew. All he will say is that he's sorry and that he thought it would just be an alternative to porn
When asked why he didn't come to me first, or why he needed an alternative in the first place, why he'd not told.me, how he thinks we can afford 70p a minute for him to do something he can do for free... he just says he doesn't know
AIBU to feel I've been cheated on.
I fully admit that I share responsibility for our sec life not being wonderful atm BUT there were a lot of ways we could've changed that, without him going to someone else.
